Granted: 1913-07-25
Abstract: 17,306. Daalen, H. B. van, and Schreiber, H. P. July 25. Controlling different functions by same handle or lever; guarding against wrong movements. -In vehicles having electric transmission, two actuating-members are provided, one for the controller and the other for the electrical and the mechanical brakes, these members being so interconnected that either may be employed independently of the other, or one member may operate both the controller and the brakes. Figs. 2 and 3 show an arrangement of two pedals p, q, each capable of turning a controller drum having a series of driving-contacts on one side of a neutral position, and a series of braking-contacts on the other. The controlleroperating shaft carries two bevel-wheels u, v, which are permanently in gear with bevel-wheels s, t integral with disks x having ratchet teeth. The pedals are freely mounted on the spindle r, and each carries a pawl w, which is forced into contact with its ratchet disk x by the fixed guide z when the pedal is depressed sufficiently. The depression of the pedal p puts the controller into the running position without affecting the other pedal q, unless it has been, previously depressed, when it is raised to its inoperative position. Similarly, the depression of the pedal q to move the controller into the braking position is effected independently of or conjunctly with the pedal p, according to whether the latter is in its raised position or has been depressed. A lever l for the mechanical brake is connected to the pedal q. Straight toothed gearing or similar mechanism may be employed.

Title: Improvements in Safety-devices for Mine-cages.
Inventor: TILLACK EDUARD
IPC: B66B5/26
Filed: 1913-09-08
Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 20,254. Tillack, E. Sept. 8. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Catch gear of mine-cage type.-The falling of a mine cage is retarded, in the event of breakage of the hoisting-cable, by means of braking-jaws engaging the sides of the guidebars, and the cage is arrested and supported by bolts shot out from the sides of the cage and engaging spring buffers arranged in the shaft; a governor is provided for putting the brakes and bolts into action if the cage should descend too rapidly. A transverse shaft 1 carrying at the centre a weighted and spring-controlled lever 4 is connected by an arm 5, link 6, and arm 7 to a rock-shaft 8, on which is mounted a curved arm 9 carrying a roller engaging the hoisting-cable 10. At each end of the shaft 1 are arranged eccentric pins which engage slots in braking-cams 34, 35, and when the tension is removed from the hoisting-cable, these cams are forced into contact with the guides. At the same time, bolts 20, 21 are shot out at the side of the cage, being actuated by slotted disks 19 rotated by a crank 17. This crank is turned by a slotted lever 15, having a forked: arm 11, 12 embracing the weighted arm 4. The braking-cams reduce the speed of the cage, which is finally supported by the bolts 20, 21 engaging spring buffers 28, 29 arranged at the levels in the pit shaft. The grip of the brakes can be eased by a hand or foot operated lever on the shaft 1, so as to lower the cage to the next buffer. The safety gear is brought into action in the event of excessive speed by a governor connected to an arm 31 on a screwed shaft 33, the end of which lies adjacent to the arm 9. When the shaft 33 is turned, it moves the arm 9 sideways and releases it from the shaft 8, thereby allowing the weighted arm 4 to actuate the brake and catch gear. The governor is driven by an endless rope attached to the arm 31. When the speed is excessive, the governor applies a brake to the rope and so causes it to pull over the arm 31.
